We fetch this document again every day and compare it with the version we verified; if the district changes it, the dates here are read again.

Note: The document is marked FINAL but does not say it was board-approved, so status is unknown. The grid does not name any of the breaks; winter and spring break are read from the red 'Student/Staff Holiday' cells. Winter break runs Dec 17, 2026 through Jan 1, 2027, and Jan 4 is a PL Day/Student Holiday, so students return Jan 5. Oct 8-9 and Oct 12 are red holidays and Oct 13 is a yellow PL Day/Student Holiday, so there is no school Oct 8-13. The grid shows PL Day/Student Holiday (yellow) on Jul 23-24 and Jul 27-29, before the first day, and on May 21 and May 24, 2027, after the last day. Memorial Day (May 31, 2027) falls after the last day.
